As Tom already announced, our good friend, Bob Sikkila, died this morning around 6:00 a.m. Bob was just a few days short of age 77. He died of cancer.
I have known Bob for 63 years. He and I studied together for our Novice licenses, and we attended the Michigan School for the Blind. Bob graduated in 1961, and went on to obtain his BA degree, and then, his MS from the University of Michigan. Bob was one of those fellows that everyone who knew him, liked, and in all the years I knew him, I never heard anyone say one single negative about him. To the contrary, everyone spoke highly of him.
You will be missed my friend!

Hello, everyone.


As you’ll see from the note below, one of our fellow blind hams, Bob Sikkila (K8MXC), became a silent key this morning.


Even though Bob did not frequently post to the list, he was a list member and very much enjoyed reading our various list posts.


RIP, Bob!

Hello ALL


Received a message from Larry, K8SRH just now, and a telephone call from Kenny, K8KIC that our dear friend and fellow radio amateur Bob, K8MXC became a silent key this morning.


Regards, Jan K1ND
